We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.25.

In Paragraph 2, the writer implies that ______.A. problems cause troublesB. attitude is everythingC. challenges can be avoidedD. personalities are built on failures27.

What’ s the writer’ s purpose to write the passage?A. To encourage.B. To compare.C. To prove.D. To explain.29. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How to Avoid ProblemsB. Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreCIt was simply laziness that led me to fall in love with a blackbird. I’d not got round to harvesting all my grapes, and as I watched them rot, I felt a pain at how terrible a gardener I’d become. Fruit left on the vine too long may harbour diseases. I’d look out at plenty of bunches slowly turning into one dark, weak mass and say, "Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow."Then I saw a blackbird settle on my outdoor table and fly to pluck (摘)a grape and return to the table to eat it. This task was repeated day after day.I don’t know why this took me by surprise. Blackbirds like all the fruits once they’re soft enough to eat. Still, I felt delighted and relieved.There are lists upon lists of plants that are good for birds, whether because they attract insects, or because they are rich in berries(浆果) or nuts. There is a theory that fruits that are similar in colour to our native types are more desirable to birds, so white fruit will not be as favoured as red or orange. However, anyone who has grown dogwood(梾木) will know that once those yellow leaves drop to expose deep red stems decorated with white berries, the birds begin to eat them. They are able to learn new tricks.If you don’t have spac e for bigger-berried trees, make attractive bird feeders in large pots that are no longer needed for summer bedding or vegetables. To give small birds some protection, tie together strong stems to form loose cages. Into these bring seed heads, using the stems to hold them in place. Sunflower heads, for example, can be put in. Position the pots close to the house, and you can watch them quietly from indoors.30.How did the author feel when he watched the grapes rot on the vine?A. Horrible.B. Guilty.C. Helpless.D. Surprised.31.What can be inferred about dogwood according to the text?A. It is a non-native plant.B. It bears hard nuts.C. The color of its fruit is red.D. Its fruit is delicious to eat.32.Why does the author suggest making loose cages with stems?A. To watch birds more easily.B. To protect some small birds.C. To stop stems growing wildly.D. To prevent stems taking up too much room.DAs far as children’s museums go, new and exciting exhib its are always on the list to keep kids entertained and intrigued. But how to keep the kids interacting while still dealing with real life issues and enabling them to step into the footsteps of those with an entirely different view from their own? Enter th e Israeli Children’s Museum in Holon. The museum offers a thoughtful display of rotating(旋转的) exhibits and is home to three permanent exhibits. The exhibits —Invitation to Silence, Dialogue with Time, and Dialogue in the Dark —are unlike most any other experiences you’ll find in any typical children’s museum.Invitation to Silence is an exhibit that enables participants to understand what it is like to live in the world of those who are hearing-impaired. The guides are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves and take participants on a 75-minute active journey, walking them through an experience of alternative communication, where non-spoken languages —"hearing with one’s eyes", sign languages and body languages are the only options.Dialogue with Time is a one-of-a-kind exhibit guided by those 70 years old and older. It helps visitors to have the concept of old age and aging, through an intergenerational dialogue of experiences and games so that they can learn what it is truly like to age in our society as a whole.Dialogue in the Dark is guided by the blind and those who are vision-impaired. The 75-minute tour is in complete darkness, tracking interpersonal and group dialogue settings that reassess the stereotypes(刻板印象) associated with being blind.All three exhibits offer children and adults valuable social lessons and a peek into worlds that are otherwise hard to explain. These exhibits can give participants new views, gratitude, and empathy for the disabled while also championing their efforts in the challenges of everyday life, by giving power and admiration to each group.33.The purpose of the text is mainly to _____.A. present unique exhibits on display for childrenB. talk about creative ways to make museums livelyC. attract visitors to a museum for students in HolonD. introduce a museum for visitors to experience disability34. How can visitors communicate with the guide in Invitation to Silence?A. By making a phone call.B. By using body languages.C. By talking in a low voice.D. By writing on a piece of paper.35. Dialogue in the Dark helps visitors learn about problems with _____.A. being deafB. being blindC. being dumbD. being too old第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Yale, Princeto n, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only you ng men went to college. All the students studied the same sub jects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could te ach everything that was known about the world. When the stu dents graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers. In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men w ho wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive th eir training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin an d Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American histor y.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges bega n to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choo se the subjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and unive rsities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that o ne kind of school can't offer it all.1. From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early y ears, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers2. Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ______ .A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and Ge rmanC. American history and GermanD. French and German3. On the whole, the passage is about _______.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. what kind of lesson each college teachesD. how colleges have changedBAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made schooldifficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a st ory and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my han d right away and said,“ Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I ha d to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all bec ame clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. H e lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading syste m of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to t he blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like th e “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen star ted to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I eve r give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were th ese words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4.The author didn’t finish the reading inclass because ________.A. He was new to the classB. He was tried of literatureC. He had an attention disorderD. He wanted to take thetask home5.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA. He had good sightB. He made a great invention.C.

Encouraging7.What is the main idea of the passageA. The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. CHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the sa me. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we r an remember pain, live, and some other experiences: We part ed here; My parents met here; I won three championships her e.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrou nding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first be droom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween---when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel t all and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room i n the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden d resser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime --- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists i n my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles . It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, a nd I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, an d my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, beca use I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm ho me.8.

The author can still visit her first physical home in Los An geles.C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining r oom.D. Many people of the author's age can still find their first ph ysical homes.10. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.A. Open the window at nightB. lie down in bed to have a dreamC. try to bring back a sense of homeD. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom11. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in NewJersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to h is belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mothe r would pen a note--- “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”---and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it w as so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the mil k wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to tim e taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and t elling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big co mpanies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale eve rywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a deli very service.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside. I took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）. Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I s tart telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who bro ught us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ________.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.第二节（共5 小题，每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项How to choose a good bookMake a list answering these questions.What type of books do you like?

Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D.

About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap! Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in t he house.”The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said,“Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse t rap in the house.”“I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assure d that you are in my prayers.”The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depress ed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did notsee that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. T he snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the h ospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wif e’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butche red the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died , and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had th e cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem a nd think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.21. We may infer that the passage is most probably a ______.A. fairy taleB. fableC. science fictionD. news report22. We could see from the passage that the mouse was ____ __.A. kind and warm-heartedB. well-informedC. good at cheating othersD. foolish and rude23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The pig was comparatively less friendly than the others in the farmyard.B. The mouse trap that the mouse discovered was not a pract ical one.C. The farmer and his wife trapped an evil snake that night.D. The farmer’s family was in fact poor and they had no friend s.24. The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.A. the mouseB. the pigC. the snakeD. the chickenBIt might sound unbelievable that two kids under the age of ten would choose to hang out at a hotel instead of going to Disne y World, just minutes away, but that’s exactly what happened when we visited the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Wa lt Disney World Resort last month. What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the fro nt desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. u sed the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and tal ked about all ofthe fun things to do, like the kid’s club, the waterslides, and the game room. I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch.The Room: Not only were there kid-sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrige rator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull-out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. We had plenty of room.The Pools: There’s a large shallow infinity pool. There’s a me andering lazy river. There’s a water park. There’s an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very fun wat erslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and j ust hanging out in a private teepee-shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun!No Surcharges: There’s no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the pools, it’s included. For the kid s club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and t he Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around th e hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our r oom charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free.25. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________.A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World ResortB. introduce the good service Walt Disney providesC. recall the experience that they once had in a hotelD. share information about a hotel near Disney World26.

What can we learn from the passage?A.The hotel isn’t an ideal choice for a family of more than four.B. The two kids of the author should have been over five year s old.C. The author spent hours playing pool volleyball and basketb all.D. The receptionist showed children around Disney World Re sort.CThe terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students, but also a very i mportant exam in the lives of South Korean students.Although the long, cold winter has already started in South K orea, the annual (一年一度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated. More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday. They usually tak e exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. B ut because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 stu dents. The students want to attend these colleges for both the ir famous names and better job opportunities.Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 am. After school ha s finished at 6:30 pm, most of them go to the library to continu e their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries i n are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hou rs a day.“I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream com e true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide mThe exam day is a very serious day for the whole of . Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of allthe test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundin gs. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid l anding and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hou rs.Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in . M any private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This ha s made a lot of students think again.28.

The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many ki ds were simply not drinking enough waterKenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 c hildren, aged 6 to19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. Th e data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey,a study on the health of children in the conducted each yea r by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kid who took part in the study were dehy drated (脱水的). Of' that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all. .“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention i n the past," Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for mos t of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat , this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life an d well-being for many children and youth."The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, s uch as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that flui ds（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calo ries and can lead to weight problems.32 What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study?A. To study if kids drink enough water daily :B. To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kidsC. To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love. -D.

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance todo anything for her. At that moment I understood the importan ce of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important th an your family.

At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm cloc k rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went b ack to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They we re scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, re lax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beau tiful morning together!” Then miracle（奇迹） happened. The two little creatures seemed to understan d what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫） around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twitt ered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to h ear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life i s!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us.

Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）.In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by________.A. their earlier experience of living aloneB. the poor living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry that they have not saved much moneyD. the distance between where parents live and where their children live22. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to_________.A. realize their dreams in foreign countriesB. seek a better place for their aged parentsC. live in the countries with more moneyD. continue their studies abroad23. If young people go abroad, _________.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right24. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _________.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our s ocietyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”25. The society discussed in the passage is most probably ____________A. FranceB. AmericaC. ChinaD. Britain三．七选五Exam Preparation TipsExams are extremely stressful events in everyone’s life, and the only way to deal with them satisfactorily is to be well prepared.

at her old high school other than the green color on the walls．Akinosun won her medal with the 400﹣meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer．Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she's learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year ago．Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents．"They see things you can't see，"she said．"In high school I thought I was on the top of the world．"In Akinosun's case，her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois，which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford﹣Bailey．"I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents，"she said．Her parents saw Buford﹣Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，somethingAkinosun said she didn't understand at the time．It didn't take long，however，for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford﹣Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there．Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right．Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication．She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete﹣student instead of a student﹣athlete．"I always put track and field first，and then comes school，"Akinosun said．A social life comes last．"It's about sacrifices（牺牲）．You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen，"she added．Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully，no matter how she might feel on a given day．"I never missed a training session （环节）in my four years in college，"she said．"It's my job；it's what I do．Think about that when you want to sleep in．"21．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Akinosun according to the article？A．She was a big fan of Buford﹣Bailey in high school．B．She make up her mind to win Olympic medals in high school．C．She still doesn't want to admit that her parents helped her a lot．D．She is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach．22．According to Akinosun，she became a successful athlete because．A．she had great confidence in herself．B．she always put training before anything else．C．she was pushed by her coach to train hard．D．she could keep a good balance between school and training．23．The underlined word"dedication"in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to．A．committing fullyB．knowing oneselfC．a clear purposeD．a strong desire24．What's the best title of the passage？A．How Akinosun spent her high school years．B．The story of Akinosun's success．C．Being an athlete is not easy．D．Akinosun's advice to her schoolmates．25．（6分）Getting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling﹣﹣﹣don't let it ruin your day or your overall experience．But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip﹣offs．Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees，disappointed experiences and overpriced items．Baggage FeesDepending upon the airline，you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag，and more for overweight bags．When possible，pack a bag lightly enough to a carry﹣on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags（two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue）．Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag，so check your status．Overpriced Hotel and Airport FoodTo avoid the overpriced water sold at airports，bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport．Then，fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you．Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar，which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill．Tourist Trap RestaurantsIf you're visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence，Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons （优惠券）that might get some extra savings．Often restaurants run deals on Yelp where if you"check in"at that restaurant and review it，you get a free dessert or 15%off the total bill，etc．By researching online，you'll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available，but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now．25．To have a free checked bag，you shall not．A．take a light carry﹣onB．have a high statusC．take overweight bagsD．choose Southwest Airlines26．If you want to drink free water at an airport，you can．A．take a bottle of water through securityB．go to a water fountainC．go to a store at the airportD．order a coffee at a coffee shop27．The passage is probably written by．A．a travel agentB．an economical personC．an experienced travelerD．a skilled net﹣worker．28．（8分）When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016Nobel Prize in literature on Oct.6，it said："Not Bob Dylan．That's for sure．" But the award came as a surprise to many．On Oct 13，the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy．He has"created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition"，according to the organization．Although Dylan，75，is not really thought to be a literary writer，he has given the world a lot of creative works over 50years，especially when it comes to his folk songs．In his 1985album Biograph，Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him．Rocksongs"weren't serious enough or didn't reflect life in a realistic way"，according to Dylan．But folk，was"a more serious type of thing．The songs are filled with more sadness，more joy…much deeper feelings．"Dylan's music and lyrics（抒情诗）spoke to many people during the 1960s．His lyrics were often about great political issues，such as the civil rights movement．The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard．The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a﹣Changin'（1964），which warns the world，"You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone．For the times they are a﹣changin'!"There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer．But ancient"Greek poets Homer ND Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to，that were meant to be performed，often with instruments and it's the same way with Dylan"，the Swedish Academy's permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN．It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition．The millions whose lives Dylan's words and music have changed will surely welcome the award．28．Dylan found folk music attractive because．A．It brought joy to people．B．It could be used to express feelings freely．C．It reflected life on a much deeper level．D．It needed more creativity than other types of music．29．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article？A．He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize．B．Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s．C．His songs expressed people's feelings well during the 1960s．D．His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements．30．According to the last two paragraphs，．A．lyrics can be seen as a literary form．B．a literary prize should not be given to a singer．C．Dylan's works were inspired by Greek poets．D．Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many song﹣writers．31．What's the author's attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature？A．supportiveB．objectiveC．doubtfulD．negative．32．（8分）Internet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance．Once the world of the female in her fifties，plastic surgery（整形手术）has become the focus of the younger Internet users．The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba，an 18﹣year﹣old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery，brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more"ideal"body among teenagers．In fact，search data confirms this phenomenon．One of the most popular sites visited from the search term"plastic surgery"is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons （www．plastic surgery．org）．Over 25% of the visitors，which is up from 19.6% two years ago，fell within the 18to 24years old．Plastic surgery has become an American obsession （痴迷）．Checking other countries，such as the UK and Australia，the 18to 24﹣year﹣old's being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon．Unlike the other groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy，younger Internet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance，such as those focused on body﹣building，weight loss and skin﹣care，and obviously plastic surgery．While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience，one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies：the failing U．S．economy．There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over thelast year．While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction（抽脂），it's younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty，though at a discount price．32．Why does the author mention the death of the 18﹣year﹣old cheerleader？A．To show cheerleaders pay more attention to their appearance．B．To warn people that plastic surgery is not as safe as it is said to be．C．To prove the fact that people will pursue beauty at any cost．D．To draw attention to the issue of young people having plastic surgery．33．While young people are surfing on the Internet，they are very interested in．A．how to be physically and mentally healthy．B．how to make themselves look young．C．how to prevent and cure diseases．D．how to have more attractive appearance．34．What may affect young people's decision on whether to have plastic surgery？A．The safety of the operationB．The total expense of the surgery．C．The need for having the operation．D．The results of the surgery．35．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A．Americans，old or young，are crazy about plastic surgery．B．Liposuction is the most expensive plastic surgery．C．Outer beauty means more to young people than inner beauty．D．Young people often get discount when having plastic surgery．36．（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能放入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Exercise is very important when it comes to dropping pounds．So if you're eager to lose weight，then here are three everyday changes that will help increase your calorieburn．Hello Sunshine（36）．Research shows that people who exercise in the morning work harder and for longer periods，which may be because they're clearer in thinking and more energetic and they don't feel as rushed as afternoon or evening exercisers．（37），which will help even more with your weigh﹣loss journey．（38）When it comes to

on an exercise ball instead of a chair．A．Getting into a morning routine will also help you stick with itB．Run instead of walkingC．Muscles exercise is the key to weight﹣lossD．And don't stick to a

old high school other than the green color on the walls．Akinosun won her medal with the 400﹣meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer．Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she's learned since running track for Wsubonsiemore than fours year ago．Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents．"They see things you can't see，"she said．"In high school I thought I was on the top of the world．"In Akinosun's case，her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois，which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford﹣Bailey．"I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents，"she said．Her parents saw Buford﹣Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，something Akinosun said she didn't understand at the time．It didn't take long，however，for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford﹣Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there．Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right．Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication．She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete﹣student instead of a student﹣athlete．"I always put track and field first，and then comes school，"Akinosun said．A social life comes last．"It's about sacrifices（牺牲）．You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen，"she added．Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully，no matter how she might feel on a given day．"I never missed a training session （环节）in my four years in college，"she said．"It's my job；it's what I do．Think about that when you want to sleep in．"21．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Akinosun according to the article？DA．She was a big fan of Buford﹣Bailey in high school．B．She make up her mind to win Olympic medals in high school．C．She still doesn't want to admit that her parents helped her a lot．D．She is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach．22．According to Akinosun，she became a successful athlete because B．A．she had great confidence in herself．B．she always put training before anything else．C．she was pushed by her coach to train hard．D．she could keep a good balance between school and training．23．The underlined word"dedication"in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to A．A．committing fullyB．knowing oneselfC．a clear purposeD．a strong desire24．What's the best title of the passage？BA．How Akinosun spent her high school years．B．The story of Akinosun's success．C．Being an athlete is not easy．D．Akinosun's advice to her schoolmates．【分析】本文是一篇人物故事类阅读，属于人物传记，奥运会金牌得主Morolake Akinosun走过美国伊利诺斯州的高中的大厅．本文以此展开讲述，主要讲述了运动员Akinosun如何一步步走向成功，成为一个出色的运动员的故事．【解答】21．答案：D．细节理解题．根据"I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents，"she said．Her parents saw Buford﹣Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter，something Akinosun said she didn't understand at the time．可知，Akinosun感谢她的父母找到一个好的教练．故选D．22．答案：B．细节理解题．根据"I always put track and field first，and then comes school，"Akinosun said．A social life comes last．"It's about sacrifices（牺牲）．You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen，"she added．可知，她之所以成功是因为她把所有事情都放在运动锻炼之后．故选B．23．答案：A．词义猜测题．根据下文内容可知，她把所有事情都放在运动锻炼之后．故可推测出，成为一个优秀的运动员才能参加奥运会需要奉献．故该词意为奉献．故选A．24．答案：B．主旨大意题．阅读全文，根据文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了运动员Akinosun如何一步步走向成功，成为一个出色的运动员的故事．故选B．【点评】本文是一篇人物故事类阅读，题目涉及多道细节理解题，词义猜测题，主旨大意题．做题时学生应仔细阅读原文，把握文章主要内容，联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义，从中选出正确答案，一定要做到有理有据，切忌胡乱猜测．25．（6分）Getting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling﹣﹣﹣don't let it ruin your day or your overall experience．But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip﹣offs．Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees，disappointed experiences and overpriced items．Baggage FeesDepending upon the airline，you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag，and more for overweight bags．When possible，pack a bag lightly enough to a carry﹣on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags（two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue）．Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag，so check your status．Overpriced Hotel and Airport FoodTo avoid the overpriced water sold at airports，bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport．Then，fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you．Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar，which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill．Tourist Trap RestaurantsIf you're visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence，Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons （优惠券）that might get some extra savings．Often restaurants run deals on Yelpwhere if you"check in"at that restaurant and review it，you get a free dessert or 15% off the total bill，etc．By researching online，you'll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available，but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now．25．To have a free checked bag，you shall not C．A．take a light carry﹣onB．have a high statusC．take overweight bagsD．choose Southwest Airlines26．If you want to drink free water at an airport，you can B．A．take a bottle of water through securityB．go to a water fountainC．go to a store at the airportD．order a coffee at a coffee shop27．The passage is probably written by C．A．a travel agentB．an economical personC．an experienced travelerD．a skilled net﹣worker．【分析】本文从行李费用，宾馆费用，机场食物和网上订餐这几个方面讲述了一些旅行的省钱小经验．【解答】25．C．细节理解题．由第二段Depending upon the airline，you can pay 15to75for the first checked bag，and more for overweight bags．可知带过重的东西会收费，故选C．26．B．细节理解题．由第三段Then，fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you可知，在饮水间里提供的水是免费的，故选B．27．C．主旨归纳题．本文从行李费用，宾馆费用，机场食物和网上订餐这几个方面讲述了一些旅行的省钱小经验，因此作者是一个旅行经历丰富的人，故选C．。

To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑犯), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seco nds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thoug ht it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman fel t disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second la dy the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would r ecognize him. The second lady giggled, flipped her hair, and s aid, “Ha! It's easy to find the oneeared person!” Her answer al so made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he as ked, “This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him ?” He added quickly, “Think hard before giving a stupid answe r.” The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a momentand said, “Hmm...the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜).” The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know himself if the suspect wore contacts or n ot. “Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes w hile I check his file.” He left the room and went to his office, ch ecked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a b eaming smile. “Wow! I can't believe it...It's TRUE! The suspec t does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?”“That's easy, ”the blo nde replied, “He can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!”1.

He worked very hard and r eally wanted to take a holiday.He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Goo d prices.”“This sounds like a good idea,” he thought. “I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. Th ey'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.”Four days later he returned home.“What's wrong with Willow Farm?”His friend Jack asked him. “Didn't you enjoy country life?”“Country life was fine,” Alan said, “but there was another problem.”“Oh,what?”“Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”“Fresh meat is the best.”“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”“Lucky you!”“You don't understand,” Alan said.“On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”“A different roast every day, ”Jack said.“Let me finish,” Alan said, “on the fourth day the farmer died a nd I didn't dare to stay for dinner!”4.

Everyone understands what a smile means, and everyone also understands what a fr own means. In fact, these two basic facial expressions can be recognized across countries, across the world and across the globe, regardless of the language spoken or the culture lived in.Hugs are so beautiful! When you give someone a hug or som eone comes up and gives you a hug, this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes about how much you care for the other p erson, how much love you want to share with the other perso n, how much you have missed the other person. This hug has so much to say, and yet there never has to be any words spo ken.And, who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a move ment of the head says the same thing. These basic examples show just how powerful body language can be. Just knowing how to read and use body language effectively, makes it reall y easy to see why it is not always a bad thing to be lost for wo rds.Body language in the world of love is a very common thing an d sometimes the only thing. And, most of the time, body langu age is the very first words “spoken” before any words are. The old saying is “love at first sight”, not “love at first word”. Acros s a crowded room, their eyes meet and linger, he winks at her , and she raises an eyebrow. The connection is made without any words needed. These displays of body language say it al l. In fact, sometimes they can say more than words can.8. How many kinds of body language are mentioned in the firs t two paragraphs?A. Three.B. Two.C. Four.D. Five.9.

He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.16. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ .A．written about New Yorkers B．Composed for Paul WhitemanC．played mainly in the countryside D．performed in various ways17. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He created one of his best works B．He studied with Nadia BoulangerC．He argued with French critics D．He changed his music style18. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．Many of Gershwin’s works were lostB．The death of Gershwin was widely reportedC．A concert was held in memory of GershwinD．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.19. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Talented and productive B．Serious and boringC．popular and unhappy D．Friendly and honestBYou can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain－sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard－looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.20. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.21. What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain. 22. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→ sensorsB. sensors→motor→ canopyC. motor→sensors→ canopyD. canopy→motor→ sensorsCThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.23. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB. International CommunicationsC. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language24. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.25. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.七选五阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

江西省安义中学2017-2018学年度上学期高二英语第二次周练试卷第一节阅读理解Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.Salt acts as a natural anti—depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) d epressions”, a study has reported.The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.One s ign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.Humans have a long histor y of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.1. What does the underlined word "deficient" in the third paragraph mean?A. enoughB. far from enoughC. more than enoughD. plenty2. The major role of salt is to ____________.A. help the body work wellB. help fight against depressionC. help people get rid of an addiction to drugsD. help people enjoy sugary substances3. Which of the following statements is true?A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it.B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health. 4. What kind of food should people eat more of?A. Frozen foodB. Fast foodC. Red meat D Low--salt food第二节：七选五Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes(刻板印象) or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒)．__5__ Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green－eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.__6__ Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others— but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.__7__. But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world's fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”_8__ They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.__9__ It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.第三节：完形填空I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m rubbish at saying “NO”．For example, last Sunday I was sitting at my desk alone，totally 11 in my own business, when a colleague of mine phoned and asked me to get involved in 12 with her.
